[quote]If no evidence is there to wholeheartedly prove one side of an argument, both sides could be equally as correct or incorrect.[/quote] The proper course of action in this scenario would be to not actually address the question whatsoever. [quote]Picking a side doesn't contradict the scientific method, it's simply hypothesizing.[/quote] Proposing a fundamentally untestable and extra-existential force is as far from a scientific hypothesis as you can really get. Scientists put forward hypotheses when there is at least some substance standing behind the idea they are hypothesizing. There is no observational evidence or logical necessity for a deity, and the concept itself is completely beyond scientific testability, thus it isn't a valid hypothesis in a scientific environment. Faith and scientific reasoning differ two essentially opposite epistemologies, thus are incompatible on a very basic level.
